Chapter 8: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui Mansion (6)

The fish pond in Cui's house is semicircular, with a high wall next to one side in a straight line, and the outer courtyard outside the high wall. One side of the arc is a gold-inlaid jade bamboo forest, a road on the left side of the bamboo forest leads to the outer gate, a road on the right is facing the main courtyard where the Wang family lives, and the slope is the courtyard of the two aunts.

On the right side of the fish pond there is a simple pavilion where you can sit and enjoy the shade, where the three girls in the house often embroider flowers and drink tea.

The place where Cui Yuying fell into the water is on the side of the path leading to the outer gate, and there is a gentle slope from the bamboo forest. Meng Hui and Ning Zhu were squatting on the gentle slope at the moment, hanging their heads together and looking at the ground.

"I just wondered if the man would be buried in the soil if he left something here, so I wanted to cut it open with my hands and take a look."

The bead shook the mud off his hand and pointed to a blackened lump of mud. "It turned out to be this! Girl, this is bloodstains, isn't it? I've seen chickens killed in the big kitchen, and that's how the blood dried up in the soil! ”

Meng Hui pinched up a small half fist-sized piece of dry mud, and muttered that everything was worth it for the sake of becoming an immortal and for a better future...... She held back her nausea and put the mud that seemed to have been soaked in blood under her nose and sniffed it.

Outcome...... White disgusting, nothing but the smell of authentic mud!

Why didn't Hades give her a pair of titanium dog eyes that could analyze blood and DNA? Solving the case is all about guessing, which is too much of a test of people's IQ! Meng Hui silently looked at the mud block in his hand, and planned to wrap it in a handkerchief, and went back to melt it with water to take a look.

While she was looking for her handkerchief, God helped the beads to dig up a large piece of dirt. A layer of dirt was removed from the surface, revealing a blood-stained path that continued down the gentle slope.

This time it was too obvious that there was no need to smell it again, and there was no need to use water to determine that the dark red and black soil must have been soaked in blood.

"Keep going! You dig towards the location of the bamboo footprints, and I dig towards the edge of the fish pond! ”

The guess in Meng Hui's heart was a little clearer, she was full of energy, and no longer complained that the king of Hades gave too little information and golden fingers. Turning his head, he gently brushed away a layer of dirt from the ground, revealing the blood stains inside.

This bloodstained road has been deliberately turned over and buried. The newly covered soil outside is more solid than the others, as if it has been stepped on hard, and finally the traces of the trampling have been covered with branches or bamboo branches.

Meng Hui regarded himself as a groundhog, digging all the way to the fish pond, and soon, all the blood stains of different shades were exposed. Seeing Ning Zhu beckoning to her in the bamboo forest, she hurriedly walked up in the dark.

"Girl, the blood stains are not far from the location of the footprints," Ning Zhu felt a chill in her heart, and her teeth chattered as she spoke, "The eldest girl must have been knocked unconscious in the bamboo forest, and then she was dragged to the fish pond!" ”

Meng Hui nodded, this time it was finally right.

Cui Yuying's death involved two scenes, one was a bamboo forest and the other was a fish pond, and it was bound to be two people who did it.

Suspect No. 1 is the owner of the footprints in the bamboo forest, and the person who smashed the back of Cui Yuying's head; Suspect No. 2 arrived one step later and dragged Cui Yuying, who had fainted, down the gentle slope to the fish pond and drowned, and was the real culprit who caused her death.

It's likely that One has never been to the fish pond at all, so when looking for the lost item, he will go straight to the bamboo forest instead of going to the scene of the death. As a result, he was unlucky and was seen by Mama Li and Ning Zhu.

Ning Zhu had a stomach full of doubts, frowning and muttering as she reburied the excavated soil.

"Why can't the lord or the eldest son get along with the eldest girl? Smash it so hard, look at the blood in this place...... Who did you say later found the big girl fainting here? If you don't call someone to help, forget it, you still have a killer! ”

"Alas, who knows what they think, it's really sad." Meng Hui shook her head, the situation she came up with now was the result of her limited IQ being exerted to the limit, and she had been tossing for so long just after her soul had passed through, her consciousness and Cui Yuzhen's body were a little unbearable.

"Don't think about it yet, let's clean it up!"

The two of them quickly covered the soil again, and while stepping on it with their feet, they picked up the broken branches of the bamboo forest to cover up the traces. Follow the gentle slope all the way to the fish pond, and finally it is almost cleaned.

It has been four months since the incident, and the grass by the water has been cleared several times, and Meng Hui didn't have much hope for this place, but for the sake of caution, he still squatted on the ground and looked at the grass carefully.

Unexpectedly, this bow made her smell the smell left after burning incense and burning paper.

"The master obviously doesn't let people mention this, and no one is allowed to say that the eldest girl is drowned, why do people still come here to burn paper?" She quickly took a closer look in the grass and found that there were indeed a small amount of incense ash and paper ash left inside.

Meng Hui is a funeral major, and he worked odd jobs in a funeral home during college, so he is familiar with this taste. The smell of burning incense and paper is always difficult to eliminate, and it will remain for a long time before it disperses, and this place is close to the pool, and she can still smell it, indicating that there are still people who have come to worship recently.

She remembered that Cui Yuying's maids, Biqing and Bilan, were sent to Zhuangzi after the incident. Cui Yuzhen has been sick, and Condensation and Condensation don't dare to do it themselves.

Everyone else in the house is not close to Cui Yuying, and they will definitely not risk offending Master Cui to come over to burn paper.

What's more, in the hearts of the ancients, the place where the young girl died was resentful and unlucky, and she wanted to go around. Even the people who cleaned the yard wanted to hurry up and do something perfunctory, otherwise they wouldn't have left so much incense ash and paper ash.

Meng Hui muttered in his heart, "If you exclude people close to you...... Only people with ghosts in their hearts can do this. "If you have a ghost in your heart, you are prone to guilt and fear, and you are afraid that the deceased will haunt you, so you would rather take the risk to burn incense and paper.

"Girl, I'll take a look around the house tomorrow and ask who bought paper and incense recently," Ning Zhu saw her rubbing her temples and quickly helped her up from the ground, "Let's go back to the yard and rest first." ”

"Okay, look underground, don't leave any traces." Meng Hui's mind was buzzing, it should be Cui Yuzhen's illness that was not yet complete. She took a deep breath and thought to herself that starting tomorrow morning, I had to help her exercise, this little body was really useless!

The wind was a little cold at night, and in order not to continue to suffer from the cold, Meng Hui simply trotted all the way, and was panting and sweating halfway through. Her body was warm, but she was dumbfounded when she saw it.

"Don't stare, run back with me, and walk slowly, what time will it be!"

"Oh, come on, girl, be careful."

Ning Zhu finally accepted the girl who was gradually becoming "lively", followed behind her, and trotted slowly.
